Request.clone()
The clone() method of the Request interface creates a copy of the current Request object.
clone() throws a TypeError if the request body has already been used. In fact, the main reason clone() exists is to allow multiple uses of body objects (when they are one-use only.)
If you intend to modify the request, you may prefer the Request constructor.
Syntax
var newRequest = request.clone();
Parameters
None.
Return value
A Request object, which is an exact copy of the Request that clone() was called on.
Example
In the following snippet, we create a new request using the constructor (for an image file in the same directory as the script), then clone the request.Request()
var myRequest = new Request('flowers.jpg');
var newRequest = myRequest.clone(); // a copy of the request is now stored in newRequest
